Testimonials

Charlotte was great with my daughter, made her feel very comfortable and relaxed. The personalised recordings made each session that we were able to use in the evenings at home were great.

I decided to see a therapist when I was experiencing intense ruminations that could last for days, sometimes even weeks. I often felt overwhelmed and at the end of my tether. Working with Charlotte has been genuinely transformative.
From the outset, Charlotte took the time to guide me through a thoughtful process of understanding where my thoughts were coming from and why they were persisting. She created a safe, supportive space where I could explore my experiences without judgment.

Throughout our sessions, I had many “Eureka” moments—sudden insights that helped me make sense of patterns I hadn’t previously recognised. Over time, I began to notice a real shift: the ruminations became less frequent, less intense, and far less dominant.

By the end of our work together, they had virtually stopped. I no longer feel pulled down by that negative inner voice, and as a result, I feel freer, lighter, and genuinely happier.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Charlotte to anyone struggling with persistent thoughts or feeling stuck—her approach is compassionate, insightful, and truly life-changing.

Having never been to therapy before I didn’t know what to expect but Charlotte has made the whole process so comfortable for me to be so open and be able to work through situations to be able to see massive improvements towards the goal we agreed at the beginning…

Charlotte makes you feel so at ease and really really helps to make you question what you are saying to help you find your way to decisions, personally realising some key things about myself has made such a huge difference to how I am dealing with not only the areas I went to be able to cope with but in my everyday life too… would highly recommend

Charlotte is amazing.

Charlotte has changed my life or perhaps saved my life! I spent fifty years being angry with my teenage self ruling my life. She had seen off many therapists over the years , she has had me attempt suicide and get committed, she has ruined friendships and thought it good to be addicted to anything that stops the pain . Charlotte heard me , she saw me and she has healed me . I will never forget her and will forever be grateful for her kindness and her expertise at getting to the real
Me – thank you , thank you , thank you

I crawled into 2024 on my knees!

The back end of 2023 saw some major changes for myself, professionally and personally.

I became a dad! I now had to navigate being a father, husband, and a business owner.

Shortly after becoming a dad, my dad found out he had terminal cancer!

My company was in a bad financial position due to something which was out of my control.

Safe to say 2024 was the hardest year of my life.

It left me with some uncontrollable thoughts and stress. All of which had a negative impact on my personal and professional life. Not to mention my physical health.

I owe a Huge thank you to Charlotte for helping me understand why I was feeling how I was. For helping me navigate ongoing stress by following my true self.

Since working with Charlotte,

I’ve found meaning in almost everything I do.

My company is no longer “surviving” it’s “thriving”.

I’ve learnt to take time from work to spend precious moments with my family.

For anyone who is struggling right now, keep going, it does get easier!

Charlotte, Without your support I’m not sure how I’d have coped.

Thank you.

I highly recommend Charlotte, she has helped my daughter with a fear of doors and we are now working towards helping her with anxiety. From the moment we met Charlotte we were welcomed into her beautiful home, she is kind, caring and understanding, she gives us 100 per cent of her attention, listens and never judges. My daughter has trouble sitting/lying still, Charlotte brought in a garden lounger and made it really comfy to help my daughter feel relaxed. She is always thinking about how she can help and goes above and beyond. She is such a lovely character and really gages well with children. Charlotte could see at one point I was struggling and offered for me to meet her without my daughter, we met and chatted and I left feeling a weight had been lifted of my shoulders. Charlotte is lovely she isn’t in it for them money, she generally cares about the person she is seeing but also the family around them to. I am so glad I found Charlotte, I wish I had found her sooner!

Having previously seen psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and had cognitive behavioural therapy I did not hold out much hope!

Charlotte is an understanding and compassionate person. I felt at ease to discuss personal things in a very relaxed environment.

Through hypnotherapy I have been able to comfort my children when they have vomited without having a panic attack for the first time and have become a more confident person.

It really has changed my life.

Thank you so much for everything Charlotte.

As a hypnotherapist I found her to be warm, approachable and she genuinely cared about me as her client. I had an initial consultation where we discussed my need for hypnotherapy and personal circumstances in depth.

I found Charlotte to be very easy to open up to and be honest with. She created an environment which felt safe, secure and comfortable. She explained how hypnotherapy works to me, which really helped to reduce any anxieties I had about the process, as I had never had hypnotherapy before.

During my therapy sessions, I found the process of being hypnotised to be very relaxing and always came away from sessions feeling positive and upbeat. I fully trusted Charlotte in her role and she instilled a sense of calm during proceedings. All my hypnotherapy sessions were very personalised, Charlotte had planned these to meet my needs and make me feel comfortable.

I have been amazed at the results. After just two hypnosis sessions I have stopped my negative habit! I feel full of confidence and happiness that this will continue. After 34 years, I have finally managed to find a way to break a habit and negative cycle, which was holding me captive! I would recommend Charlotte fully to anyone in a similar situation.

I am someone who finds it really difficult to relax and express my true feelings. During the first session I realised that I was talking about things I normally wouldn’t and this was due to Charlotte’s natural ability to show empathy and a genuine interest in wanting to help.​

During the second session I was very impressed by the amount of research and knowledge Charlotte had accumulated regarding my particular problem.

I felt like I have really progressed as a result of the work that we did together. I feel a lot more confident, positive and in- control within certain aspects of my life.

Although I came into the sessions feeling a little apprehensive- you completely put me at ease. I had no idea of what to expect however I am so glad that I did come.

Over time Charlotte’s sessions gave me a feeling of control over my emotions regarding Hornets that I didn’t have before. I’m much calmer now when seeing pictures and videos of hornets and I can now even be in the presence of a Hornet and stay calm and in control and not panic. To date I haven’t had any more nightmares, this has improved my quality of sleep greatly. I have much more confidence now in dealing with future situations that may arise with the insects.

Charlotte’s manner was always professional and calm which really helped me to relax. The therapy environment was also quiet and calming, perfect for relaxing. My time with Charlotte has proven invaluable and truly has had a positive effect on my life.

I was sceptical when I started the course, but after a few sessions I gradually found myself wanting to smoke less frequently. By the end of the sessions, I am happy to be living a smoke free life and it really has been so easy to give up. I was a smoker for twenty years and am finally free from the habit. I feel great to finally be free of a habit which controlled my life. I would recommend Charlotte as a hypnotherapist – she made me feel very comfortable and approached our sessions in a non- judgemental, friendly manner which helped me to relax. Thank you Charlotte for all of your help!

Charlotte & I completed six Hypnotherapy sessions together and the main thing I have noticed is a calming of my IBS symptoms. Unfortunately, we were unable to complete all of our sessions due to the coronavirus outbreak, however I still have seen some benefit. Charlotte has continued to offer support and I continue to listen to daily recordings that we’re provided by Charlotte.

If I had to describe a typical Hypnotherapy session, I guess I would break it into three parts. Firstly, would be the process of becoming very relaxed, secondly would be the process of creating an image in your mind – for example sitting in a room or tuning a radio & thirdly would be making positive changes, or using positive language in order to improve whatever it is you’re trying to improve. For me it was to improve / reduce my IBS symptoms.
If you were to be interested in Hypnotherapy sessions, then I would recommend Charlotte. She is an excellent Hypnotherapist.

“I had seen the ad for Hadleigh Hypnotherapy in a local magazine, and since hypnotherapy seemed to be able to help with breaking a long-standing habit that I wished to change but had struggled to do so, I contacted Charlotte. She answered promptly and we set up an initial consultation meeting, so she could get a sense of what I was looking for and also for me to feel this was something I felt would be beneficial to me.

I had had filled out some forms to inform our initial discussions (I have been very impressed throughout with the detailed thoroughness of Charlotte’s preparation and tailoring of the therapy to the specific needs of her clients). I went in not really knowing what to expect of hypnotherapy, but found Charlotte warm, open and compassionate and she explained the approach of the therapy to me, reassuringly emphasizing that nothing could be done, even when I was in trance, without my permission.

I found the hypnosis gave very rapid results, noticeable even after one session. At each session, we would touch base on where I was in general, and in progress on the therapy. At each session I found the therapy deeply relaxing – itself highly restorative – and felt very comfortable trusting Charlotte to guide each session, integrating suggestions that were relevant to our opening conversation. I was also pleased to have access to the hypnosis as recordings at home, so that I could reinforce the work to myself between sessions, something I feel was important in helping to strengthen my abilities to make the changes I wished to.

I have been amazed at the life-changing changes Charlotte was able to help me unlock in such a short time of working together. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to change habits in which they feel stuck.”

Thank you Charlotte.

I booked in for help to give up smoking, as it is a requirement that I am a non-smoker before I have surgery, I mention this to give context that I was not 100% committed to quitting when I booked the sessions.

Charlotte was really friendly and understanding of where I was and what my motivation was. She clearly explained the process and gave me options of stopping immediately or (not her first choice) reducing over time. I definitely entered my first session favouring the reducing over time approach, I even left the first session planning on having a cigarette. To my amazement when I got home and had a clear opportunity to smoke I chose not to and I have not touched a single cigarette over the last 4 weeks. I still go out and chat to my wife while she smokes and even suggest she has a cigarette break and I just chat to her.

I have had 3 sessions with Charlotte and we have now agreed I do not need anymore, but will seek her out if I feel I need any support in the future.

Without Charlotte’s help I would not have achieved becoming a non-smoker so easily and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Charlotte, thankyou!

I approached Charlotte following a very lengthy period of experiencing high levels of anxiety.
Charlotte was very professional and put me at ease straight away. She was very kind & understanding.
Following a few weekly sessions we were able to locate the “trigger” and deal with it appropriately.
I now feel mentally “refreshed” with reduced anxiety and have a positive mental attitude driving forwards.
Thank you 🙂

Our initial consultation involved Charlotte getting to know our daughter, discussing the problem in further detail and providing us with realistic expectations of the outcome. Charlotte’s warm and caring manner immediately helped to put both myself and our daughter at ease and the treatment room is a cosy, comfortable and relaxed environment.

Over the past few weeks, Charlotte has established a trusting relationship with our daughter. She has taken great care to find out what she responds to, spoken to her directly throughout and taken the time to personally tailor the sessions, each one of which our daughter has really looked forward to. In addition, following each appointment, Charlotte has sent us recordings which our daughter has been able to listen to at home.

We have now had five sessions with Charlotte and our daughter’s pain definitely appears to have become more manageable. The bouts of pain are less severe, not as lengthy as they were initially and appear to be happening less frequently. Our daughter has had much less time off school recently and has also been able to resume all of her out of school activities. In addition, we feel that she has grown in confidence, which has been a lovely and unexpected bonus.

Overall we feel that this has been a really positive experience for which we are very grateful and we would highly recommend Charlotte to anyone considering hypnotherapy.”

I came across Charlotte and Hadleigh Hypnotherapy through a mother’s desperate search for support and solutions to a habitual challenge my eldest daughter was facing. I contacted Charlotte via text message at first (super fast response), followed by a phone call to discuss whether hypnotherapy would be an option for my daughter. We went to Hadleigh Hypnotherapy together, stepping into a world of unknowns and feeling quite nervous about what to expect, but those nerves were settled in the cosy and trusting environment that Charlotte has created. A comfy sofa, a fresh scent in the diffuser and lots of eye catching, homely touches in the room enhanced the feelings of safety.

From my experience, Charlotte is fantastic with children. She managed to build trust and confidence in my daughter throughout each session, which I believe has been vital to the success of our sessions.

I’ve said this to Charlotte, but I can’t put into words, the happiness that she has supported our family with. We’ve gone from crying in sadness and desperation to crying in happiness and confidence. The changes that I have seen in my daughters mentality, confidence and most importantly, the changes we have seen in the habit over just 7 weeks of attending sessions, has been phenomenal.

I cannot express my gratitude to Hadleigh Hypnotherapy enough, but I’m so glad we made the choice to bring this wonderful person into our lives.

Thank you Charlotte.

I can’t recommend Charlotte enough! My 7 year old daughter had a thumb sucking habit which was proving difficult to drop. No amount of persuasion or treats could entice her to stop as the habit was so ingrained. After researching various ways to get rid of unwanted habits, hypnotherapy seemed to be a good option. I reached out to Charlotte who could not have been more friendly. She suggested an initial meeting before starting any hypnotherapy to ensure that my daughter felt comfortable and happy. I was in no doubt that their relationship would be very positive as it did indeed prove to be. Charlotte has a great ability to put you at ease and quite clearly is passionate about her work which she is very skilled at! I’m thrilled to say that my daughter no longer sucks her thumb! She always looked forward to her sessions and I think misses them now (although we don’t miss the unwanted habit). Thank you Charlotte xxx
